Fluid Transport in Plants

3. a long arrangement of strands of xylem and phloem (2 words)
6. an elongated cell whose walls contain perforations (sieve pores) that are arranged in circumscribed areas (sieve plates) and that afford communication with similar adjacent cells.(2 words)
7. an elongated, tapering xylem cell having lignified, pitted, intact walls, adapted for conduction and support.
8. any of a number of specialized parenchymal cells adjacent to a sieve tube in the phloem of flowering plants, believed to regulate the flow of nutrients through the tube.(2 words)
10. a tissue in vascular plants that helps provide support and that conducts water and nutrients upward from the roots, consisting of tracheids, vessels, parenchyma cells, and woody fibers.

1. the part of a vascular bundle consisting of sieve tubes, companion cells, parenchyma, and fibers and forming the food-conducting tissue of a plant.
2. consists primarily of a watery solution of hormones, mineral elements and other nutrients. Transport of sap in xylem is characterized by movement from the roots toward the leaves
3. one of the cell types found in xylem, the water conducting tissue of plants (2 words)
4. an elongated tubular extension of an epidermal cell of a root, serving to absorb water and minerals from the soil.
5. what is a phloem's primary function? (2 words)
9. a vertical series of sieve cells in the phloem, specialized for the conduction of food materials.(2 words)
